Updating U-TAP Firmware
Although the U-TAP products come from the factory pre-installed with the latest firmware as of the time of manufacture, it may be necessary to re-flash the factory firmware or update to new firmware that has been posted on the AJA website.
The following topics in these notes describe the steps required to upgrade the firmware in your AJA U-TAP.
Download the Latest Firmware
Current and past releases of U-TAP firmware are available on AJA's website. To get the firmware, point your browser to:
https://www.aja.com/en/products/u-tap#support
Once you see the update page, the U-TAP zip file can be selected for downloading to your Mac or PC for upgrading your U-TAP.
Unpacking U-TAP Firmware
The firmware update file is a “ZIP” compressed file (with a name like AJA_U-TAP_v1.0.zip), which you can open with a number of standard and third party applications.
Unzipping this ZIP file will give access to two additional ZIP files, one for Windows and one for Mac along with a Documents folder that contains the U-TAP Product Manual and Release Notes.
Once the OS specific file is unzipped, there will be a README.TXT file. Please open and follow the instructions for updating the U-TAP firmware.
Updating the U-TAP firmware can be performed with a Mac or Windows computer with a USB3 or USB2 port. Follow this procedure to update the firmware:
1. Connect U-TAP to your computer with the USB cable.
2. Wait approximately 3 seconds for the U-TAP to boot up.
3. Ensure that only one U-TAP is connected during this procedure.
Updating the U-TAP Firmware on a Windows Computer
1. Create a directory and unzip the AJA_U-TAP_Win_vx.x.zip folder contents to this directory.
